Albrecht’s Delafield Market, a long-standing family-owned supermarket serving the Lake County community since 1994, has chosen the ReposiTrak Traceability Network® (RTN) to automate the exchange of traceability data with its suppliers. This decision aligns with the FDA’s FSMA 204 food traceability law, which mandates the sharing of product journey information across the supply chain from origin to sale.
“Ensuring food traceability is crucial, especially for a single-store operation like ours, to streamline processes for our valued suppliers,” said Jordan Jeanpierre, Family Co-owner of Albrecht’s Delafield Market. “Through RTN, our suppliers can easily transmit necessary data with each shipment, enhancing safety and providing unprecedented visibility into our product offerings.”
Compliance with food traceability involves managing a comprehensive set of data elements known as Key Data Elements (KDEs). While certain KDEs like product description and Traceability Lot Code (TLC) can be included on labels, others require real-time electronic transmission with every shipment. RTN facilitates the collection, organization, and storage of these KDEs from diverse sources, ensuring adherence to FSMA 204 and tailored retailer and wholesaler specifications.
“It’s imperative for retailers and wholesalers to emulate Albrecht’s proactive approach in initiating food traceability efforts,” emphasized Randy Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “Our immediate focus is engaging each supplier to identify and integrate requisite data into RTN, enabling comprehensive traceability records that meet FDA guidelines and beyond.”
Albrecht’s Delafield Market’s suppliers will integrate into ReposiTrak’s expansive Traceability Network, which already includes over 8,000 suppliers nationwide sharing traceability data with retailers and wholesalers.
